'ADHD is a real medical condition and it means that what comes easy to you may be difficult for us. Simple tasks that you take for granted — for example, opening mail, paying bills, and filing papers — are a triathlon of executive functions for us.'
ADHD isn’t an excuse for irresponsibility. It’s a real medical condition and it means that what comes easy to you may be difficult for us. It doesn’t mean that we can’t do something; it means that it’s just much harder for us. Simple tasks that you take for granted — for example, opening mail, paying bills, and filing papers — are a triathlon of executive functions for us.
We understand why you may want to criticize and correct our behavior, but try to accept that that is our reality. Doubts and disappointments will not make these tasks any easier for us; but encouragement just might inspire us not to give up. So please acknowledge our successes — no matter how small.Ironically, deadlines are helpful. And reminders are, too. But nagging? Not so much. The presentation of the reminder determines our reaction.
, the understandable temptation is to focus on only our negative traits. It feels impossible to remember our good qualities. And listing them only feels like it will set unrealistic expectations — and lead to disappointment. At times like this, try to accept your loved ones as they are. Look for the good, and focus on it. Never lose sight of your loved one’s awesome qualities. If it’s your partner, remember the fun-loving, impulsive personality you fell in love with. Go back in time. Love them again, as if you first met. If it’s your child, remember the feeling of holding your newborn infant in your arms for the first time.Words of encouragement wield far more power than do insults or put-downs.
